I expect your idea of a happy wedding day is getting a free sandwich in an airport lounge in Luton.
Where are you on the transport network?

They only had club tickets left for the Aberdeen sleeper service and it still works out about half the price of flying for two people, with railcards.
There's photos online, hard to take a pic of more than the table in front of me without it looking like I'm being weird and photographing other people here

That's interesting because normally people say the sleeper is more expensive, and it relies on adding the cost of a hotel room to the flying cost to make the argument that it's not.
Is that because you booked last minute?
Tbf I'm comparing the price of flying direct to Orkney vs train to Aberdeen and then the ferry. We quite possibly could've flown to Aberdeen for less, but then you have to travel from the airport and the station and ferry terminal are practically next door...
I booked four weeks ago but this train was almost sold out then. Tickets are almost always about the same price ime - I usually just get a seat though!

What would Badgers do?
For a fair comparison it’s always best to look at the walk on train fare vs booking a flight several years in advance

I don’t go to that many away games anymore, but my football mates who do are nowadays regularly reporting return fares from London to various towns and cities in the North of England (never mind Scotland) in the £70s and £80s. Even when booked in advance. Not always but more often than not. It is rather depressing…

Next year - I am told there will be a new sleeper from Brussels to Prague via Berlin and Dresden - something to look forward to......!

Yes an extension of the European Sleeper that currently goes as far as Berlin, I think?

On the bus to Dracula's Castle.
Yes, sadly missing a stop at Ustí northbound, this fab train is back. I WILL be on it, having a cheeky few drinks by the Danube in Slovakian Šturovo and changing the next morning at Dečin at 04:30.
